Reasons our guests told us over the years
why they have had a succesful holiday at La Collardiere:

- "There are loads of things to do
and to visit in the area - a fortnight is notenough; but it's a great spot to do absolutely nothing
at all."

- "We enjoyed our day out, but it
was so good to come "home" to the peace and quiet
of La Collardiere."

We are living on site and, therefore,
make sure with every change-over
that the houses are handed over to the next guests in best condition.

- "What would we have done if you
weren't there!?" we heard quite a few people say who had health
problems or trouble with the car when we were able to translate or make
the necessary phonecalls:

- We can provide for our guests herbs &
salads fresh from our organic gardensee
Garden page
"...my husband never ate any vegetables. Now I cannot cook enough
courgettes for him." Or "We never had a wonderful salad like
yours before!"

- Easy accessible from the ports.

Every
season has its charm…..

Outside the main holiday
season the area also has much to offer, especially for busy people needing
time to unwind.

From early Spring the hedgerows
awaken with snowdrops, primulas, bluebells and wild orchids. This is followed
by the fabulous display of apple and pear blossom in the Normandy orchards.

Autumn is the time to take to the woods and huge
forests which are such an important feature of our area. There amongst
the leaves you may be lucky enough to find juicy Cêpes mushrooms
or Sweet Chestnuts to take home. These can be turned into a delicious
meal before settling down in front of the log fire.

Over Christmas and New
Year we offer you the chance to forget the usual hectic pre-Xmas stress
and duties. Your cottage will be pre-heated and nicely decorated, when
you arrive, and if you wish, we can arrange a Christmas tree for you.

We cannot guarantee snow
- but we can promise peace and quiet and roaring log fires.
